Abstract Objectives Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention by researchers
worldwide in recent years for their small dimensions and unique architecture, and for having …

The most widely used theory in the analysis of nanostructures is Eringen's nonlocal elasticity
theory. But many researchers have mentioned that this theory has a paradox for the …

The aggregation and deposition kinetics of fullerene C60 nanoparticles have been
investigated over a wide range of monovalent and divalent electrolyte concentrations by …

The controlled synthesis of materials by methods that permit their assembly into functional
nanoscale structures lies at the crux of the emerging field of nanotechnology. Although only …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many unique physical, mechanical, and electronic
properties. These distinct properties may be exploited such that they can be used for …

We study the pull-in voltage characteristics of several nanotube electromechanical switches,
such as double-wall carbon nanotubes suspended over a graphitic ground electrode. We …

Nanomedicine is the process of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic
injury, of relieving pain, and of preserving and improving human health, using molecular …

Three-terminal nanorelay structures were fabricated with multiwall carbon nanotubes
(MWNTs). The nanotube relays were deflected by applying a gate voltage until contact …

We theoretically study the interplay between electrical and mechanical properties of
suspended, doubly clamped carbon nanotubes in which charging effects dominate. In this …
